Thanks so much for your suggestions :) I had both of those styles in my config prior to your suggestion to use "FvwmAuto 900 -menter." Since !FPFocusByProgram prevented that from working, I removed it along with several other styles I thought might be too drastic. Putting "!FPFocusByProgram" back in...done. What about !FPFocusByFunctionWarpPointer? > .... which is OK. But the latter is a little drastic.

I hadn't yet decided how I wanted to handle this situation. Same with the UrgencyFunc and UrgencyDoneFunc--I think I want some kind of a notification even if I don't want it to grab focus. So for now I left it as is. Also, since then I've started using fvwm within LXDE, and my attention moved to other issues...
